Liberty Quote
The Princeton sociologists Paul Sniderman and Louk Hagendoorn found that the Dutch favoured tolerance and opposed multiculturalism. When asked what the difference was, they replied that tolerance ignores differences; multiculturalism makes an issue of them at every point.

Context is certainly important but there are many more Bible verses that could be cited, and if I have time tomorrow I will.
The fundamental point which goes back to the first book in the canon, Genesis, is that all human beings – even furriners – were made in God’s image and hence entitled to life. The commandment not to kill didn’t have an ethnic qualifier.

Just watching the Drum. Geez it is awful. Fitzsimian just made the argument that the NSW Male Netball team doesn’t deserve the same pay as the girls, while the Matildas do deserve the same pay as the men due the amount of spectators they pull in. He also said the AFLW draws huge crowds. How can he mouth such nonsense?

Been getting some ash drop, waiting to see if it becomes cinders.
Someone off the coast must be doing it hard.
The Drum also covered Margaret Court saga & they all piled on about homoxyls getting a hard time from Margaret Court etc, except for Katherine Greiner who tried to stick up for Margaret but got howled down, by Fizsimian mainly.
When the sun sets I am going to go up to the beach and look west to see if I can see fire.
As regards Margaret Court, she played tennis. Her religion is her own opinion and she’s entitled to it, and not entitled to force it on others and so you get what you get.
Fortunately this rule does not apply to those who know best, apparently.
The Drum also agreed that because there are fires in NSW & Nappa Valley in California, that climate change is the culprit. Simple stuff really to prove using this analysis.
Fitsimian was jealous.
Greiner has hair.

The difference between me and the fuckwits on Tele et al is that they think they’re important and I know that in the scheme of things no one is.
I appreciate the venue to allow me to talk shit.
NSW looks to be in real strife tonight with some of these fires. Showing the Fire HQ on ABC News, which is like the War Room in Dr Strangelove. About now, with sun going down and winds changing, Christine Nixon would be heading to the pub for dinner.

More bush fires in NSW state forests. Why bother fighting these fires. Protect life and property and let the forests burn. How long since hazard reduction in forests?
They do occasionally draw huge crowds. 53,004 watched the AWFL grand final this year and 41,975 attended a game at Optus Stadium last year.
Of course attendance is free and most games have only a couple of thousand attending, but it is astonishing to me that anyone at all would go and watch such a non-spectacle.
Next year there will be an extra four teams, so the standard will drop even further. I would be very surprised if that attendance record is ever broken.
Five degrees G. (Gretagrade) here on the Plains of Sodom. If it was any more hotter there would be wild fires here as well, grass being the main engine and an absolute doozy for climate change.
The Drum also agreed that because there are fires in NSW & Nappa Valley in California, that climate change is the culprit.
It might have been the doomlord instead of God, but that’s close enough.
yeah … the AWFL, smashing the patriarchy one goal a week

OK
I understand now that someone would go on Tele to express their own ideas with no thought to persuade others around to their point of view.
Thanks.
I think the difference between the fuckwits and people like Margaret Court is that she wants what’s best and the fuckwits just want everyone to agree with them.
Naturally, Margaret Court will pray for those that don’t agree with her and the fuckwits will kill those that disagree.

However it will support the awful, awful heat narrative about worming gerbils.

New pictures show Stephen Hawking enjoying the hospitality of Jeffrey Epstein on the private Caribbean island
Hands up those who think Stephen Hawking was in any fit state to take ‘full’ advantage of Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘hospitality’.
A friend of dads was made quad about 25 years ago.
Every year or so he stocks up on blue pills, books a room in Perth and finds a naughty, naughty girl to use them on.
Has ended extremely badly for him on at least one occasion.
red wine, chunder, being thrown off the bed and peed on while you imitate a smashed crab on the tiles wasnt his best effort. (or even requested).
Also Apparently he was a bit of a freak in his tastes.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-other-side-of-stephen-hawking-strippers-aliens-and-disturbing-abuse-claims
Hawking became a regular at Stringfellows strip club in London, and the proprietor recalls a hilarious run-in with the professor one night.
“I went and introduced myself and said, ‘Mr. Hawking, it’s an honor to meet you. If you could spare a minute or two, I’d love to chat with you about the universe,’” Stringfellow recalled.
“Then I paused for a bit and joked, ‘Or would you rather look at the girls?’
“There was silence for a moment, and then he answered, ‘The Girls.’”
Hawking has also reportedly been spotted numerous times getting lap dances at the California strip club Devore, and was even said to have frequented Freedom Acres, a swinger’s club in California.
“I have seen Stephen Hawking at the club more than a handful of times,” a member said, according to the Huffington Post. “He arrives with an entourage of nurses and assistants. Last time I saw him, he was in the back ‘play area’ lying on a bed fully clothed with two naked women gyrating all over him.”
Flip up desks.
They bring back the aroma of old bananas, mouldy mandarins and copious ladders in stockings. And ink monitors and post office pens.
And strange graffiti from students past.
Best thing about flip up desks was writing your missive to the next owner on the inside during last week of school etc. Was quite proud of mine and bumped into teachers later who congratulated me on it.
Ross Garnaut now on ABC RN Australia Wide spruiking Australia becoming a renewable energy superpower & carbon farming too.
Mitch Starc versus the Pakis. So one-sided.
Irrelevant who brought it in.
In the 2013 election campaign Abbott held a special press conference to vow – not merely promise but vowed – to repeal 18C. Once elected one of his first acts was to call another press conference to announce he was reneging on repealing 18C.
It was the start of a long line of broken election undertakings. Nonetheless, he’s back pretending again to be an actual “conservative” who actually gives a fvck about you, and a whole heap of Cats are lapping it up.
Capturing carbon in the landscape is what Ross wants us to do.
Flip up desks probably have a mercury burden. Remember when teachers would pour some into your hand and then pass it around to your other classmates? Last kid only got to play with a smidge.

Welcome to County Dublin, IRELAND.
Academics who have never had a job generating wealth in the real economy should have no say in policies that are crippling our economy for ideological reasons. Charlatans like Garnaut have zero credibility outside of anti-market communist agitation factories like the ABC.
Garnaut is a very dangerous charlatan spruiking his book Superpower to sell more green junk.
Do also wish the ABC could go a full 24hours without one story about empowering women.
So the Morrison government is going to help farmers ruined by the government-created drought; by making them go further into debt to buy fresh water that was allocated to South Australia. Apparently this 100 Gl water is available because SA is building a desalination plant.
Think about that. The MDBA flushes “environmental flows” of fresh river water onto bushland flats where the water inundates and kills the vegetation, and into the ocean to keep an estuarine lake artificially full of fresh water. Right next to this, the government is building a desalination plant to produce fresh water. The stupidity is overwhelming.
The question is often asked: Have we reached peak stupidity? There is no peak to Green stupidity. It is an asymptotic trajectory of Green stupidity and it is rapidly crushing us.
Just one hour would be nice.

Culture appropriator.
Don Jr going on The View has got to be worth a few thousand additional sales at least. Nobody, not a single soul, watched that segment and thought ‘well I was going to buy his book but now I absolutely am not!’
Good ole times.
I think political dynasties should be banned, but Don Jr 2024 is a real possibility.
16 years of Trumptasticness.
My goodness me.
I have been waiting a long time for someone to rub Whoopi Goldberg’s nose in her ‘not [email protected]@pe’ comment.
“Not rape rape”.
What a disgusting grub.
Every time i check up on the bloke, Goolag have been giving him the shits.
You’ll see why.
That’s right. A middle aged man feeds a 13 yo booze and drugs and then sodomises her while she’s out of it…that’s not [email protected]@pe is it, Whoopi? You can totally see how that could happen to anyone. Can we please focus on serious crime?
I would hazard a guess if I could see their shoes.
Tommy Sotomayor is awesome.
Don Jr walked on set with a flamethrower, torched the witches and then went home to bang Kim Guilfoyle.
I’m shocked.
All our lives we have been waiting for someone to punch back and it turned out it was going to be a family of NYC property developers to lead us to the promised land.
Bizarre.
Whoopsie defending black face hahahaha
Pious skank.
Pious, fat, purple muumuu-wearing skank.
Goldberg, that is. Unsurprisingly still on board with the defending of, and covering up the fuckups of the elites.
I’ll stand corrected, but I think she may have been tut-tutting at Weinstein as well, after happily being in the inner circle for decades.
One over to go.
Must get to KFC and back prior to the second innings.
Fascinatingly enough, I reckon I’ve inhaled smoke the equivalent of at least a few months worth of ciggas today.
The upside is that I didn’t pay crazy tax thanks to the vagaries of nature.
You might not like the music? Fair enough.
She is excellent with that violin.
Can someone explain that Medusa head piece on Goldberg. Not a fascinator surely. A bottle of peroxide perhaps, a wig, a pasta dish that some Antifa retard plonked on her pate. An insult to absurdity whatever it is.
The less time children spend in that bolshevik brainwashing camp the better, honestly conservative minded people should be all for schools closing and children being free from them.
Tulsi Gabbard went on the View the day before and got into a row with harridan Joy Behar.
Seen a short clip of it, looked quite good.
School should be closed every day.
I saw a recent thing where “libertarians and lefties*” want to increase school hours to coincide with work hours.
*Autism is freaking terrible.
The word of the evening is merkin, in respect to those that are uninitiated into the bald eagle.
Tulsi Gabbard is mighty impressive. If I were a flyover Democrat who voted for Trump in ’16, she could tempt me to return to the Blue fold.
Trump will be hoping the DNC nobbles her, as it did Bernie. She’d give him a real run for his money.

Steve, have you checked out her performances with Allie Sherlock? Two talented kids.
I think Trump would beat Tulsi on economic policy while still claiming to be anti-war because be brought home a handful of troops and killed off bin-Wheelie.
Doesn’t matter, the Dems absolutely have to nobble Tulsi … they don’t control her, therefore unacceptable.
As previously mentioned a long time ago, possibly on this thread maybe, President Trump and Tulsi Gabbard should team up as much as they can and fuck the rest of them.
They would become irrelevant, but even more vocal.
I drive past my kids school everyday on the way to work.
7:05am and there are a bunch of kids at school already hanging around in “before school care”.
Our generation have been absolute king canuts to their children. Couldn’t care less.
..the rest of them that is, not President Trump and Gabbard…I know what I meant but hey.
Went on a pub crawl last Fri arvo – finished at 6.30 pm. I was in the hurt locker the next day so decided to give myself a week off the booze. Oh dear, the darling wife just opened a bottle and poured me wine.

Plenty of stocking fillers this year. Donald Trump Jnr’s new book Triggered, but there are others such as the latest edition of a classic
The Worst President in History: The Legacy of Barack Obama
First published in 2016, this book has now been updated to include the entirety of Obama’s presidency, and the shocking details that have come to light since he left office.
The music is not for everyone. Having said that, not a bad show at all.
johanna will like it.
Jesus Christ OB. Just watched that. Most of it, anyway.
Aside from Tits, Christopher Eyles Guy Bowen is by far the smarmiest, self entitled piece of rancid goat shit to represent the Gough party in the last 15 years, minimum. His visage would be drastically improved with the end of a three foot star picket embedded in it*.
Said populism was to blame for losing. If by populism, he means more people decided NOT to give their hard-earned to this pack of thieves so they could spend it on wind turbines and ATO employees than those who did, then he’s bang on.

How’s that working out for you, you giant fuckstick?
*NADT.
Or IS IT?
Yeah nah fuckin’ skitz mate.

Elle, I only had one 69 on the Q & A thread.
And Sinc said he was going to memory hole it. Or something.
Mine’s a Pinelli’s Reserve Durif, 2018. Your very good health.
Cronk joins GWS:
Can’t see a downside to this.
Nice work, Sue Talbot.
Fine work on the hill.
What on earth was Arky on about?
That was a thrashing.
This is from the paywalled HS, but demonstrates that the ordinary people can still give a giant ‘fuck you’ to the offended:
‘An award-winning quilt at the Whittlesea Show has drawn the ire of one of the country’s leading civil rights organisations due to its racist connotations. The quilt, which won ‘most outstanding exhibit’ in the patchwork quilt category, depicts 24 golliwogs from 24 different countries. The American golliwog is depicted to be lassoing a Native American-Indian, while the golliwog from New Zealand is shown to be doing the haka.
‘Anti-Defamation Commission chairman Dr Dvir Abramovich said it was a sad day “when the organisers of the Whittlesea Show failed to acknowledge that awarding prizes to items that promote demeaning and humiliating stereotypes is beyond offensive”.
‘“There is nothing excellent or ‘high standard’ about works of art that showcase destructive caricatures and attitudes that should be consigned to the dustbin of history,” Dr Abramovich said. “It is absolutely obscene that there are people who are not only making such articles, but public events that openly celebrate such racist images.” He said it was Australia’s collective duty to send a “resounding message that these degrading materials have no room in our community”.
‘“Imagine the pain an indigenous Australian, and many others, would feel confronted with this blatant expression of bigotry,” he said.’
Yes, yes, yes, Doctor. The problem with this concept is there aren’t any indig on the golliquilt.
“We call on the Whittlesea Show to apologise for the hurt caused and ensure that such disturbing episodes do not occur again.”
Offence identified, albeit no actual offence was caused. Words said. Job done, you’d think – but the good doctor didn’t factor in the CWA baring their fangs:
‘Secretary to the Whittlesea Show Agricultural Society, Rose Stark, said the piece was selected purely based on “the execution and excellence/high standard of the workmanship”.
‘“We as an organisation do not discriminate based on race, religion, marital status, age, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, pregnancy, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,” she said.’
If the Anti-Defamation Spetsnaz had their way, every entry would be a collection of equally beige tiles sewed together with cismale sinew. The Whittlesea Show will endure.

Ahhhh. Subversive patchwork. I like it!
Game on.
Our Pauline rips the BoM a new arse about their temperature fiddling bullshit:
https://www.facebook.com/dallas.beaufort.71/posts/146924883355122
Malcolm Roberts had a hand in this and Malcom will have get his info from a team of tenacious researchers including Jo Nova who have been scrutinising the guts out of the stream of consciousness which the BoM considers a temperature record. The team has produced some comparative graphs showing the temperature alterations the BoM has made between the raw data, ACORN 1 and ACORN 2 which will knock your socks off when you see them (eg here); the extent of the fraud is astounding and the results can be seen when dim pollies like scomo give renewables a $1billion
They really said that.
I missed the Bible discussions earlier.
Hope some of you enjoy this, a message from Apollo8 1968…
Date of the US election is 03 Nov 2020.
Now it’s counting down the days, not years.

Do you have a point to add, or just wanted to indicate you don’t understand the debate?
The Samaritan debate was easy.
No rangas. Kung fu.
From Dover’s link:
1 in 4? Really? No. I’m pulling the bullshit card on that. 1 in 4 people means 50% of women.
Unless of course, they factor in the dead babies, that might bring it a bit closer (though that is obviously not their point).
I reckon it’s the old propaganda trick of making up stats to show that whatever travesty you are promoting is common and popular.
..
The Samaritan debate is easy indeed.
There are a whole bunch of people on here, bizarrely including Christians, arguing that there is nothing special about the Christian brand of “decent”.
Why, before Christianity everyone was already decent, and we have nothing to fear about Christian decency disappearing alone with Christianity, because ten commandments and God created man.
Jesus, apparently, was crucified for spouting a lot of obvious motherisms that everyone, all of whom were hippies, already knew.

Hello, Big Boy.
Don’t disagree, Arky.
My life experience should probably indicate otherwise, but I think the vast majority of people getting around are decent whether pagan or Christian or whatever. Always have been. That said, I haven’t been totally immersed in anything other than Western societies.
But if it comes down to actual survival, savagery beats decency hands down.
I also think – nay, believe, that Western societies are more decent than others because we can afford it. The same way we can afford XR, gormless greens and the other detritus that currently this one.
Make no mistake. When the power goes out for good and it comes down to feeding someone who can fix a truck or a fireman or a soldier, or feeding a useless fat sack of shit who contributes nothing, then you know who’s going to get a third eye socket.
